The Gulf's first cross-border gas project, the Dolphin project, initiated by the United Arab Emirates to import gas from Qatar and export to Oman, is a 'great project' but it is limited to three countries for now, said Abdulhussain bin Ali Mirza, Bahrain's oil minister.

Asked if a Gulf Cooperation Council-wide gas network project could be worked out, he said, 'not in the near future.'

Earlier this week, Oman received gas under the Dolphin project. - Reuters
